Local-first routing
The current product supports local Ollama models, hardware-aware recommendations, an Always Local mode, and separate configuration for local, cloud, research, and credential paths.
Local AI for Game Development and Creative Pipelines
Not every game-development task needs a remote data center. Tech Connector routes suitable work to local models when the creator’s hardware and task allow it, while keeping optional cloud services separate and explicit.
The production problem
Cloud-only AI can add recurring cost, move confidential project context off the workstation, and increase remote-compute demand even for routine tasks. Small teams need access to useful automation without giving up ownership, privacy, or control of their work.
What the roadmap actually means
More efficient task routing
Development is focused on choosing the smallest capable route, improving validation, and expanding bounded operations without treating model output as proof that work was completed.
Ethical creator participation
Any future contribution of creative work to training must be opt-in, permissioned, attributable, and governed by published compensation terms. Product use alone is not consent to training.
